Changing iCloud region

Hi. I'm a US citizen who resides in Italy. There are certain apps that I need here (e.g., Satispay) that are not available in the US app store. I am trying to change my region, but it won't work without an Italian credit card. I simply don't have one and do my banking through the US. Any ideas?

THanks

Unable to change region in Apple Account without Italian credit card I am living in Italy for a year and want to change my apple id region but am still using my US number as it is on an international plan and don't have an Italian credit card. Because of this apple is not allowing me to change my region and I am not able to download local apps. How do I get around this issue? [Re-Titled by Moderator]

Change Region and Empty Apple Account I want to change my region but I can’t do that until I’ve emptied my credit which is $0.23. I tried to buy something with it but nothing is that cheap so I decided to chip in with my credit card. But to successfully put in my credit card details I need to change my region. So I’m stuck in a loop here please help!

It is not possible to add a credit card from a different region in when changing your country and region I'm afraid
